Maybe, just maybe you shouldn't go to a country you seem to have so much distaste towards. Because while you may be going with a group, you are sure to interact with some Japanese people. And if you plan on not interacting with the Japanese people....whats the point of going.
The sarcastic tone implied that for me, personally - and the implication that it's a negative thing for me to be upset.

I don't think that all Japanese people are racist. At least, I hope not. I do think that racism can be found where ever I go, though, and I sure as hell plan on doing or saying something about it where ever I go. Which is partially why I want to travel so much. I want to give fair representation of black women to different parts of the world. That's all.
